| Message | In a modern Capitalist market there is no place for government regulation. To regulate, even for the best of intentions disturbs the natural equilibrium of hte market place and will only cause hardships to businesses. If businesses go bust employment goes up and that will have an adverse effect on the whoel nation. Havine visited the Euthanasia issue, the Ideologies committee of The Libertarian Party have changed the parties stance on this issue and now as long as the prescribing doctor and the patient are in agreement and no family interference is tolerated we will vote for the removal of court controls over that procedure. |

| Message | Agree generally. Whilst we would prefer to see it the responsibility of a doctor, rather than a court, we would prefer to see euthanasia completely outlawed. |
